A river changes as you move from the source to the mouth (downstream)‚ but also from bank to bank (across stream). In this essay I will be discussing how depth velocity and bedload size change downstream and across stream linking to past river theory (the Bradshaw method). Depth is defined as the distance between the surface of the river to the bottom (the river bed) this distance is measured in a straight vertical line. As you move from the source to the mouth the river depth increases. (which

Stretches of a river can be different in terms of their processes and landforms. Introduction: My investigation is a study of hydrology‚ as I want to find out how and why a rivers channel‚ flow and valley characteristics change as you move downstream from its upper course to its mouth. These changes are represented in the Bradshaw Model (fig 1)‚ a fluvial model that describes changes in the river channel and flow characteristics between different courses along the river. Based on three factors
